대도시행정의 차등적 분권화와 행정특례에 관한 연구 - 일본의 차등분권과 정령지정도시의 발전사례를 중심으로 -

Abstract

The recent provincial administration environments have responded to special administrative demands of large cities caused by urbanization. In order to provide better quality public services, the importance of reforming the inconsistencies of administrative policies and a new administrative system recognizing the speciality of metropolitan areas have been emphasized. Due to the recognition of this problem, the debate on 「differential decentralization」 have been magnified. Currently in Korea, the differential decentralization talked about for metropolitan administrations are modeled after designated cities in Japan. Therefore, this research is an observation of Japan's cases which recognizes the current special cases for metropolitan areas. And the objective of this is to provide a suggestion that will be fair in policy and legitimate in operation for the discussion of allowing special case cities in Korea.
